1961 Map of Jessie

About this map

Jessie anchors this 1961 survey, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad as it cuts through the glaciated plains of Addie and Tyrol townships. The landscape is defined by the winding Sheyenne River in the northeast corner and the prominent elevations of Pilot Mound and Butte Michaud. This map reveals a community-focused prairie life, documented through localized landmarks like the West Prairie Ch and the St Lawrence Cem located just east of the village. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the Hero Cem near the southern boundary highlights the industrial and social infrastructure of this rural Griggs County district before late-century changes in agricultural and rail transport.
